Senior Show Exhibition: Journey
what is it?
Journey: A senior show exhibition, is a series of landscape animations created for a gallery showing of senior students at the University of North Georgia in order to graduate as full-fledged art students.
These animations are intended to portray the beauty of this world by illustrating the day to night cycle of various types of landscapes found throughout the world. The original concepts for each landscape began as simple sketches in a notebook. When the ideas were solidified, I painted the scenes in Photoshop to begin. In order to animate, I had to create each piece as its own layer. This allows me to design the illusion that my pieces are in a 3D environment. I worked on the base paintings until the details became life-like. Then, I spent the rest of my time importing the layers into After Effects to bring these simple images to life with animation. The process of creating 3 animations took the time-span of 4 months, and was the culmination of what I learned as an art student at the University of North Georgia.
